As soon as we meet, I am invested in you. I will be your biggest encourager but also challenge you to dig deep to disrupt patterns and break cycles. I use personal traits of humour and lightheartedness to create connection - laughter is an excellent coping strategy, after all. I take an eclectic approach to presenting problems across the lifespan. I am equipped to treat multiple diagnoses that you are living with including mood and neurodevelopmental disorders. I can support children and adults alike. Ultimately, my goal is to help you and your family function at the most desirable level emotionally, cognitively and physically.

Many times throughout our lives, we encounter moments that leave us feeling overwhelmed and defeated. The weight of life's challenges, the burden of past decisions, or the uncertainty of significant transitions can be incredibly tough to bear. If you're going through a separation, navigating the aftermath of a breakup or divorce, struggling with anxiety, depression, or feeling like your life is out of control, know that you're not alone and it's okay to seek support. These feelings can be a part of finding your way forward. As Rumi beautifully expresses, "The wound is the place where the Light enters you."

My name is Lisa and I am an ADHD Occupational Therapist. As an ADHDer myself I strongly value providing safe(r) and neurodivergent-affirming care that enables you to work WITH your ADHD, rather than against it. As an OT, I provide personalized support that focuses on functional goals. This may be in areas such as building and maintaining routines, completing chores, starting and engaging in work or school tasks, and other areas of life that are important to you. Although we will talk a lot about mental health, my approach is quite different than traditional therapy as we focus on day-to-day functional goals.

My goal as a therapist is to provide a relationship with each client that gives space to explore the impact of external stories and your internal worlds. I work mostly with neurodivergent individuals – people who self-identify as Autistic, ADHD, gifted, highly sensitive etc. – with interest in navigating the harmful impact of dominant social norms. My approaches are borrowed from Narrative Therapy, Internal Family Systems, Schema Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Mindfulness and Religion, with some influence from CBT and Art Therapy.

I am an AuDHD non-binary lesbian therapist that operates an intersectional, anti-racist 2SLGBTQ+ and neurodiversity-affirming practice. I know from experience that growing up neurodivergent can often be traumatic, and made even harder when you are undiagnosed, unsupported, or experiencing gender or race-based discrimination. Identifying as neurodivergent and unmasking as an adult can be freeing, confusing, scary, and can bring up past traumas. I can help you explore your values and intersecting identities, build self-compassion, set boundaries, identify needs and accommodations, and heal from complex traumas.

As a queer first-generation immigrant, I felt lost trying to adjust to a new country while grieving the community left behind. I struggled with shame, loneliness, and lack of support. In finding a therapist that understood my experience, shifts started to happen. I felt seen and validated and new possibilities emerged. It is this transformative experience that motivated me to start my practice centering queer and racialized voices with anti-oppression and de-colonization at the forefront.

Have you felt invalidated or disbelieved? Does managing stress, anxiety and repetitive thoughts feel overwhelming?

As a Social Work Counsellor who is Autistic, queer and transgender, I know what that feels like and I can help! Exploring our experiences and identities without judgement can shift limiting perceptions that perpetuate shame and open us up to having more self-acceptance and self-compassion.

Does any of this sound familiar? You survived emotional neglect. You work hard and are independent. Sometimes, your drive has harmed relationships and partnerships. Perhaps your family members struggle with alcohol or addictions. You often feel isolated and "not enough", and could use help from a person who understands these challenges. If you are Neurodivergent, in Recovery; or considering gender transition, I have specific education + experience to support you (Rainbow Health Ontario provider). I am Autistic (AuDHD), adopted, ACE, trans and in a loving marriage. I work, volunteer and learn in Harm Reduction communities.

As a Registered Psychotherapist (Qualifying), I work with adults and teens who come to me with a variety of challenges. They may be struggling to cope with grief and loss, or are feeling confused about a relationship, or are finding anxiety increasingly hard to manage. I work with folks to bring patterns to light while building new ways of being in relationship to others and feelings together. I love working with feelings - and the people who have them. Whether your feelings are big, bold, and out loud, or you're struggling to articulate or find them, I am glad to sit with you and explore them together.

Hello and welcome! My name is Em and I am a non-binary, queer and neurodivergent psychotherapist, RP (Qualifying). It has been a goal of mine to provide affirming care to LGBTQIA+ folks through holding a safe space for folks to explore their experiences and emotions, free assumptions that cisgender or heterosexuality is the 'norm'. To provide neurodivergent-affirming care, I am committed to holding a space that both celebrates your unique brain and affirms the unique challenges you may face, without assumption that your neurodivergence is something that needs to be ‘fixed’.

I am an unapologetic queer, autistic/ND social worker and trauma therapist. I work collaboratively with autistic/ND individuals, families and professionals, offering non-violent, disability/racial/gender justice based healing support. Support is attuned, holistic, depathologizing and decolonizing. My work supports reconnection with self, community and culture. Our neurotypes are not "disordered". Deep healing and liberation come through resisting neurodisablist and sanist systems and finding pathways back to our embodied wisdom, power and JOY!

Are you tired of feeling like you don’t fit into society’s outdated expectations of what it means to be a woman? Do you find yourself raging against the oppressive systems that tell you your worth is tied to your body size, sexuality, or ability to conform to outdated norms? You see how messed up it all is but the "old programming" feels engrained, the self-criticism, self-betrayal, people pleasing, "try-harder" mentality, the never feeling "good enough"...it's still there. You've tried to overcome it with self-help, meditation, reading, journaling, but it doesn't seem to stick - it's hard to heal societal wounds alone

If you are struggling with overwhelming emotions, relationship issues, trauma, or marginalization, you may find hope and empowerment through therapy. As a queer, non-binary therapist, I focus on social justice and how oppression can both impact you and be resisted on a personal level. I will support you to work with overwhelming emotions so that they don’t control you or damage your relationships, and instead guide you towards a more fulfilling life. Through a supportive and collaborative relationship, we can deeply understand your experiences, help you heal from their impacts, and work towards your hopes for your life.

Are you a 25-35 year old, type-A, high-achieving, anxiety prone human with diagnosed or suspected ADHD, a strained relationship with your mom, who people pleases and can never turn their brain off? You've been told you're "too sensitive" or "too much" or "too needy", and you learned to shut your emotions down just to function in this busy society. You're on an emotional rollercoaster, and you've TRIED to feel better: meditation, self-help, breathwork, exercise, therapy tiktoks and journaling...but nothing seems to stick for long. You're really ready and eager to make a change in your mental health, even if nothing else has worked.

Being neurodivergent in a neurotypical world comes with challenges. Traditional therapy is not based on an understanding of your neurotype or the neurotype of your loved one. You may want to understand your diagnosis and how your brain works, learn practical skills to navigate your life, explore intersections with sex and gender, as well as accessing emotional and psychologcial support. Wendy McGuire, Clinic Director, is at the forefront of transforming services for the neurodivergent population through her interdisciplinary virtual clinical practice, supervision, and training (CAMH, York University, OASW Learning Centre, etc).
